I Do Not See How A Man

What Makes The Theory Of Relativity So Acceptable To Physicists In Spite Of Its Going Against The Principle Of Simplicity Is Its Great Mathematical Beauty. This Is A Quality Which Cannot Be Defined, Any More Than Beauty In Art Can Be Defined, But Which People Who Study Mathematics Usually Have No Difficulty In Appreciating.

Mathematics Is The Tool Specially Suited For Dealing With Abstract Concepts Of Any Kind And There Is No Limit To Its Power In This Field.

The Only Object Of Theoretical Physics Is To Calculate Results That Can Be Compared With Experiment... It Is Quite Unnecessary That Any Satisfactory Description Of The Whole Course Of The Phenomena Should Be Given.

Well, In The First Place, It Leads To Great Anxiety As To Whether It's Going To Be Correct Or Not ... I Expect That's The Dominating Feeling. It Gets To Be Rather A Fever... At Age 60, When Asked About His Feelings On Discovering The Dirac Equation.

It Is More Important To Have Beauty In One's Equations Than To Have Them Fit Experiment.
